The device is slated to launch on 27 July and CEO Pete Lau has now confirmed on Twitter that the new smartphone won’t cost more than $450, which works out to approximately Rs 28,500. Many tech enthusiasts are assuming it will be priced at $449. However, this would mean a way higher pricing tag than the One that carried a base price of $299 that translates to roughly Rs 19,000.

OnePlus made an announcement stating that its OnePlus 2 smartphone will get a ‘new and improved’ invite system.
